"I’m really confident because of cochlear implants. My parents helped me to know how to speak English, Mandarin and BM [Malaysian]."
- Natalie, Cochlear™ implant recipient, Malaysia
Like many teenagers, Natalie enjoys dancing to K-pop, watching videos on YouTube, and spending time with family and friends.
And she says she’s able to do all these activities confidently, thanks to her cochlear implants.
Her friends don’t even realise Natalie has a hearing loss, she says, because she’s able to hear and speak so well.
With her cochlear implants, and her family’s support, she’s learning three languages, plays the piano and participates in Tae Kwon do.
